BNSF Activity in Los Angeles

[Anonymous]

Lived in Plymouth, MI in sight of the CSX/CP mainline. Moving to Los Angeles, CA. Where can I locate, i.e., streets/intersections, in sight of the best BNSF action? Thanks. Craig

LA is so big a lot depends on where in LA your moving to, its like saying where in Rhode Island are ya moving too. Here's a couple of suggestions:

City of Commerce Metrolink station near downtown LA. right next to mainline near yard entrance, even has benches and parking. LOTS of mainline action.

City of Fullerton Amtrack station also on same mainline with seats, cafe, and parking.

There are several places in Cajon Canyon north of San Bernardino to go, bring LOTS of water on summer, and for a weekend trip theres alway Tehachapi and its famous loop.

Hobart Yard is between Atlantic and Washington on 26th Street (city of Commerce, City of Vernon, e/f near the Atlantic Street undercrossing, 710 freeway goes over east end of the yard), then there is Malabar Yard, El Segundo, Watson Yard, Pico Rivera Yard, La Mirada (bow & arrow country where industrial tracks scatter everywhere), First Street Yard (Joint w/ Amthrax), the connection to the Alameda Corridor hole between Redondo and Hobart and then you head out to the 'burbs.
